→popular American atheist author: Well, is he?
He's hardly a popular atheist author. Vonnegut is famous because of his work as a novelist, not because he was an atheist. His religion is already mentioned in another section. It's misleading because he isn't famous for writing about atheism or the subject of being atheist. He writes science fiction. I think it should be left at popular American author.--[[User:WinstonY|WinstonY]] 11:23, 14 January 2010 (EST)

:We ought to characterize him properly. If his religious views are of interest, let's try to identify them. Is he a "[[secular humanist]]", an "[[agnostic]]" (uncertain whether God exists), or an "[[atheist]]" (positive that there is no [[God]])?
:In case some Conservatives have been mistaken in using the foxhole thing, we should get to the bottom of that, too. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 11:36, 14 January 2010 (EST)
